Review of Casual Academic Staff - Invitation to attend focus groups

As you would be aware from our recent survey of casual academic staff employed at the University, we are engaged in a study to better understand the experiences of casual academics with the aim to improve the way in which we support and develop our casual staff.

As a follow-up to the survey conducted in March-April this year, a series of focus groups will be held in the week commencing 18 June 2012. The focus groups will run for one hour and payment for your attendance will be organised on the day you attend.

I encourage you to participate in one of the focus groups detailed below. To participate please register your attendance with Karen.McNeil@newcastle.edu.au
